The craftsmanship and local materials in each bellows is truly amazing. Every one is made using Herefordshire Oak, Hereford Bull Hide, Hereford Willow and Herefordshire Beeswax. Each nail is handforged, as are the handles, and even the metal nozzle is handcrafted. It takes the work of six traditional Herefordshire craftspeople – a Champion Blacksmith, Traditional Tanner, Willow Grower, Upholsterer, Engineer and Beekeeper – several weeks to complete. Each is unique, an heirloom.
